Someone Knows Something (SKS) is an ongoing investigative original CBC podcast series, written and hosted by award-winning filmmaker David Ridgen, that explores cases of the missing or murdered and unravels the visceral ripple effects on families and small communities across Canada. Each week, SKS brings audiences up close with the family that is looking for answers, the investigators who can’t quit and potential suspects – investigating theories, debunking rumours and finding new information – all through head-on pov storytelling.

Season One: What happened to Adrien McNaughton?

Over four decades ago on June 12, 1972, five year old Adrien McNaughton disappeared near a lake in eastern Ontario without a trace. Series host David Ridgen, who grew up in the area, goes back in a search for answers.

What happened the day five-year-old Adrien McNaughton wandered into the woods and was never seen again? How does a family grieve for someone who may still be alive? And where might he be today? SKS host David Ridgen returns to his hometown to investigate.

Is Adrien still alive? If so, what would he look like today? Forensic artist Diana Trepkov creates a series of age-progression sketches to help SKS in their quest to solve the mystery of McNaughton’s disappearance.

Two psychics pointed to the remote town of Clyde Forks in their readings of Adrien McNaughton’s fate and whereabouts. A skeptical look at this possibility as David travels there with Adrien’s sister Shontelle.

In the season finale of SKS, David Ridgen wraps up loose ends, looks into ways to continue the investigation into Adrien’s disappearance, and speaks with the McNaughton family about their experience of reopening the case.
